Abstract: A linear magnetic position sensor may include a magnetic field generating unit having two permanent magnets for generating a magnetic field. A Hall sensor may be disposed in a region of the magnetic field forming a linear measuring section, wherein the Hall sensor and the magnetic field generating unit are linearly displaceable relative to one another along a longitudinal direction in order to position the Hall sensor within the measuring section. The permanent magnets may be polarized in a transverse direction running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The permanent magnets may be spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction. Each pole of one of the permanent magnets may be connected to a pole of the other permanent magnet via a magnetic conductor element.

Abstract: An integrated exhaust gas recirculation intake module comprises: an intake system including a fresh air channel; and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is configured to receive an exhaust gas recirculation valve, wherein the coupling device is configured to connect an exhaust gas channel with a fresh gas channel, and wherein the exhaust gas channel is connected with the coupling device such that a heat transfer is hindered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine 1, in particular in a motor vehicle, comprising an engine block 2 that contains a plurality of combustion chambers 3, a fresh-air apparatus 5, and exhaust-emission system 10, and an exhaust-gas recirculation system 15. A purification system 29 for removing liquid or solid particles from the recirculated exhaust gas reduces the risk of damage to components of the fresh-air apparatus or of the exhaust-gas recirculation system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat transfer unit, in particular a charge air cooler, having a housing in which first flow channels for a gas to be cooled, and second flow channels for a cooling medium are situated separately therefrom. It is essential to the invention here that the first flow channels are made of hollow metallic bodies, each of which is sheathed with plastic on their longitudinal ends to form a shared tube bottom, wherein the second flow channels are bordered by outsides of the hollow metallic bodies, the two tube bottoms and an inside of the housing which is made of plastic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for linking a first plastic component (6) with a second plastic component (9). According to the inventive method, the first component (6) is introduced into an injection mold with at least one connecting section (12) at which the link with the second component (9) is to be established. The second component (9) is formed by injection-molding plastic material onto the connecting section. A surface of the connecting section (12) is at least partially covered by the plastic material of the second component (9). At least one of the components may consist of a plastic material that requires only a relatively narrow temperature range to be moldable in the molten state. At least one binder body is formed at the surface intended to be covered by the injection-molded plastic material which binder is firmly linked with the surface. Said binder melts when contacted with the heat energy of the injection-molded plastic material and fuses with the injection-molded plastic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston engine comprising an engine block that contains several cylinders. The inventive piston engine also comprises a fresh-gas supply device that is provided with several supply pipes (1) which are arranged on the cylinders and are fixed to the engine block. Said piston engine further comprises a fuel injection system that is provided with a high-pressure supply line (5) which is allocated to the cylinders. The aim of the invention is to fix the supply pipes (1) and the high-pressure supply line (5) to the engine block in a simpler manner. Holding-down clamps (7) for the supply pipes (1) are configured on the high-pressure supply line (5) in such a way that the high-pressure supply line (5) fixes the supply pipes (1) to the engine block.

Abstract: The invention describes a plastic embodiment for a suction system, whereby various configurations of said embodiment can be produced at low cost. According to the invention, a modular structured suction system is created. Said system comprises a plastic air distributor module which can be connected to an air feed pertaining to an internal combustion engine; several plastic, single-pieced suction pipe modules, whereby one end of the suction pipes is joined to the air distributor module and the suction pipes are respectively allocated to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine; in addition to at least one plastic single-pieced flange module that is connected to the other end of the suction pipe of at least one suction pipe module and which can be secured to the internal combustion engine.
